drewsof 's review for:
The Noble Hustle: Poker, Beef Jerky, and Death
by Colson Whitehead
It's really more like a 4.5 out of 5 (a couple pacing quibbles, etc) but honestly? When a book is this much of a joy to read, what else matters? I laughed perhaps more consistently in this book than I maybe ever have at a book not written by a guy with the last name Pratchett. Seriously, it was like every 1.5 pages, there was something that made me want to laugh out loud. Anyway, plenty of people who never play poker will read this book - and plenty who would never have otherwise read Colson Whitehead will, in a vice-versa sort of thing - do the same. It's a pleasure to know that they're going to come away with a newfound understanding/respect/pleasure, regardless of how they came into it. I just hope that some of that entertainment gets back to Colson somehow, makes him (heavens no) feel good. May you always have a big M, sir - because as long as you're at the table, we at least know we're in for a damn good night.
